A glimmer in the Garden State . . . It’s Official: Judge Signs Order Overturning NJ’s Ban on Tasers and Stun Guns – “A week and a half ago NJ2AS informed you of our court victory which got the State of New Jersey to admit in court that its ban on taser and stun guns was an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution that recognizes our right to keep and bear arms. Well we mentioned in that article that all that was needed for it to be official was for a judge to sign it. Well the Judge signed it. Don’t go out and buy a taser just yet though, the State has been given 180 days to promulgate regulations on the purchasing, possession and carrying of tasers and stun guns.”

Is it really a conspiracy if they’re doing it so openly? . . .

Heller, and thereby to undermine the Second Amendment at the root.”
A Marine’s .50-caliber sniper rifle failed during a firefight — so he called customer service – “Don Cook, a Marine veteran who’s been maintaining M107s for more than two decades, told National Geographic in 2011 that he one day received a call to Barrett’s workshop from a harried young Marine. During maintenance of the unit’s M107, the Marine had bent the ears of the rifle’s lower receiver; the next day, after engaging the enemy, they discovered the rifle wouldn’t fire consistently. Despite the unit’s lack of tools (and time), Cook knew exactly what to do. The armorer instructed the Marines to use the bottom of the carrier to bend the ears back down. Within 45 seconds, the weapon was firing properly. “Thank you very much,” Cook says they told him, then he heard a dial tone. They had a firefight to get back to.”

The analysis was published by The Trace, a nonprofit news organization focused on gun violence. It found that cases of road rage involving a firearm — where someone brandished a gun or fired one at a driver or passenger — more than doubled to 620 in 2016, from 247 in 2014.”
